<p>I'm not sure if there's a specific keyboard shortcut, but you can Tab/arrow to that column, then use Up/Down to move and Enter to mark as read.</p>

<p>You mean you were looking for the three dots menu in the recent topics modal?</p>

<p>Exactly. That's the common UI element Zulip seems to use for "do some more things" and I expected that marking as read in the recent list wouldn't be a primary usecase to be promoted to its own button.</p>

<p>I think I also would have expected it to be on the far right, after the participants, for similar consistency reasons.</p>
